"You're not crazy." Three words that changed everything for Hilda Reyes after years of doubting her reality in what appeared to be a perfect marriage. What began as a fairytale romance with a handsome fireman who promised to show her what real love felt like gradually unraveled into a nightmare of gaslighting, betrayal, and physical illness as her body tried desperately to alert her to the truth her mind wasn't ready to accept.

In this deeply moving conversation, Hilda takes us through her journey from being completely disconnected from herself to finding profound healing and self-love. She reveals how childhood trauma and lack of self-worth made her vulnerable to narcissistic manipulation, and how even as her intuition screamed that something wasn't right, she was told by both her husband and a therapist that the problem was within her. The physical toll was devastating – chronic pain, stomach issues, and eventually an autoimmune condition that doctors linked directly to emotional abuse.

The path to recovery wasn't linear or easy. Hilda shares the excruciating process of sitting with her pain rather than numbing it, taking radical responsibility for her own patterns, and using various healing modalities including therapy, breathwork, and plant medicine to reconnect with her authentic self. Perhaps most powerfully, she describes how healing herself also healed her relationships with her mother and daughter, breaking generational patterns of trauma.

Whether you're questioning your own relationship, supporting someone through narcissistic abuse, or on your own healing journey, Hilda's story offers profound insight into how our greatest pain can lead to our greatest awakening. Remember: if your body is telling you something is wrong, listen. You're not crazy. You're enough, and you've always been enough.
